— CHARACTER WITH STUPID READER !!
Tumblr media
content: f!reader, fluff
characters: Haruka Sakura, Hajime Umemiya, Toma Hiragi, Hayato Suo, Jo Togame, Tomiyama Choji
Tumblr media
Haruka Sakura
He is equally as stupid so it's not surprising whenever somebody sees you two, they can expect one of you to start jumping from building to building like a monkey.
Nobody knows how you two are even living, especially with the way you meet new people could rub off the wrong way, you two are known for your notorious insults...
However, you are dumber than him which is terrible, when two stupid people pair up together, what do you expect? He sometimes gets frustrated if you two end up arguing, you can't even help each other when none of you know what to do, and the worst part is he can not have peace and quiet if you're around.
Hajime Umemiya
This boy finds it funny because of how stupid you are. If anything, he will still treat you well just like everybody else but sometimes, when he sees you mess up during an argument, say something abominable that could get you locked up in jail, start a fight because someone looked at you funny, or genuinely mess up any task your given, he does end up getting a bit annoyed, because how do you mess up watering plants?
It's like he has a personal dog, like a border collie that runs around in circles chasing their own tail, it's funny, cute, but also a lot of responsibility...
Toma Hiragi
He feels like he's raising his own child. Suo had noticed that he'd always have to pick you up and toss you over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes before you did anything remotely moronic that could lead you in a huge mess.
He needs double the stomachache pills when he's around you... which is all the time.
He still finds it cute and engaging to see you act all clumsy and oblivious to anything, the only down part is he doesn't like it when you can't read the room. He has to cover your mouth with his hand before you continue to talk about something that would get you beaten up, drag you away and apologize on your behalf before scolding you in a random alleyway, if it was from a different perspective, a person would have assumed he was babysitting his friend's younger sister.
Hayato Suo
Surprisingly, he deals with you very well.
He knows how to correct behaviours in a proper manner, something Toma lacks... he's learned the different tricks and plans to get you to stop acting like a nuisance whenever he doesn't approve of the way you're acting, and it works very well!
He'll tell you to stop and let you off with a warning, cherish the way you light up whenever you're speaking a little too loud in public, he even lets you insult someone as long as you don't take it too far.
Jo Togame
To be honest, he has the slightest interest in stupid girls.
He wasn't aware that that could be a type of personality he was interested in till he met you. Your outlook on situations, people, objects, drama, made him have to take a double guess on you, he convinced himself for a while you were maybe just outgoing, till listened to you speak one day that you used to think the moon would always follow you as a kid whenever you were in a very long car ride.
'Maybe she is just stupid...'
Like Umemiya, he will love the way how funny you are without even trying. If he were to just look at you from across the room and you were simply just standing there, he would start snorting to himself to refrain from bursting out laughing. But, instead of stopping you from doing dumb things, he lets you continue to do them. The only reason why allows you is because he knows he can always stop you whenever you go to far.
Tomiyama Choji
Everyone has to run and hide from you two if you manage to come in their sight.
Choji was already bad enough in the beginning, especially for Togame who had to withstand if from the very start, so once you rolled around, he oddly began to fall sick even more, weird...
You two are known for being trouble makers, because this boy does not stop you from doing stupid things, in fact, he might even encourage it if it's just you two alone and have no one else to tell you otherwise.
You're not alone when you do your stupid things, because 99% of the time, he's joining you. The only time he'll stop you is if he or you gets hurt, not even before you get hurt, it's only after.
He loves the way you're just as outgoing as him, he finds it amazing that you're able to keep up with his personality.

See, the thing that gets me the most about Zeff being Sanji's father is that it's probably just so obvious to everyone else
They're pulled off the rock together, more dead than alive, and the kid still bites at anyone who tries to pull him away from the old man. Their rescuers never decide whether it's a trauma response or if they think the two were already attached before all this happened
Sanji's a little more civilized at the hospital they're taken to, but he still refuses to be separated from Zeff. He lies and says Zeff worked on the Orbit with him. Their caretakers just take his word and assume that if Zeff wasn't his parent before, he is now
(they're not wrong)
There really aren't many reasons for a little kid to be at a sea restaurant built to cater to pirates
Patty and Carne arrive at the Baratie, not knowing what to expect, take one look at these two blond haired, blue eyed, bad tempered cooks, and immediately go "oh. this is a father and son business"
(they're also not wrong)
They are far from the last hires to come to this conclusion. Pretty much everybody who goes through the Baratie makes the same assumption
The fact that Sanji gets more upset about anybody insulting Zeff than about them insulting the restaurant as a whole doesn't help anything
Patty and Carne start taking bets on how bad Sanji's freak out is going to be the next time some one tells him 'shouldn't you have a little more respect for your father?'
It does not get better as he gets older.
In fact, as he climbs the ranks and cooks who didn't see him fighting tooth and nail for his position come in, they'll assume he's just a brat who was named second in command just because he's the owner's son
Patty and Carne start taking bets on how long it will be before Sanji will have to put the new hire in his proper place
And then the Straw Hats arrive and Sanji tries to say he's not leaving with them.
Luffy's complaining about it to the others and Zoro (dead father), Usopp (abandoned by father), and Nami (yet to accept that her father still loves her) are all just like "Well, if he doesn't want to leave his dad, then he doesn't want to leave his dad."
Luffy (doesn't know dads are a thing people usually have) is just like "???" But still refuses to take Sanji until Zeff's given his permission and Sanji's agreed to go
And it doesn't stop just because Sanji's no longer working next to Zeff for people to make the comparison
Chopper and Franky learn about this man who took in a feral kid, gave him a home, and taught him his trade and immediately go "Father" because it's exactly what Hiriluk and Tom did for them
Sanji didn't name himself Black Leg.
When his bounty was issued and he had to be given a full title, somebody looked at this blond haired, blue eyed, bad tempered pirate, this cook who fights with his feet and won't hit women, and somebody looked at him and went "I recognize this"
He was given a name in clear reference to Red Leg Zeff
The thing about Sanji and Zeff, is that despite how long it took him to admit it to himself, Sanji's always been Zeff's son

five times danny's english class learned that he was phantom (and one time he had to reveal it)
1- wes weston
wes has always been observant and after ghosts appeared out of nowhere he became obsessed with them. he always has been someone who loved the supernatural things and seeing actual ghosts? it only boost his hyperfixation on the supernatural.
when ghost boy appeared he was happy like everyone else but somehow ghost boy felt familiar. but it cant be right? i mean how can he 'know' a ghost hes never seen before? but he couldnt get over that feeling so he observed the ghost more attentively than any of the ghosts.
all he learned about ghost boy was aligning with one of his classmate but that cant be. danny was a human. he was pretty sure of that, he remembered when he helped the health teacher about the pulses he was sure danny had a pulse even a pretty healthy one.
all his mind was telling him he couldnt say ghost boy was danny without any evidence. he had two theories both without evidence (for now) and it was that danny died and his ghost was haunting his corpse or secondly someone could be a human and a ghost at the same time. his gut was telling he was in the right path to discover the truth. so he started to pay close attention to the fenton boy. he noticed danny always disappeared when there was a ghost attack. suspicious. then he realized ghost boy also was acting with that manson girl and the foley boy. ghost boy and danny were NEVER in the same room. and lastly when ghost revealed his name was danny phantom wes felt like he was losing his mind. he was right about fenton. but how?
one day on a break time he made sure he bumped into fenton 'accidentally' hoping he could somehow check his pulse. and he did (even though he did seem like a creep as he stood there looking at him in the eye directly while holding his wrist). danny had a pulse but it was much slower than average and somehow his skin was cold. wes realized he also looked so much paler than before.
he was right. danny was human at the beginning of the year but now he wasnt so sure.
his skin was cold and pale and his pulse was slower. that didnt seem normal to wes. so he continued with his second theory. someone could be both a human and a ghost at the same time like half ghost half human or something. he didnt know how to prove this. so he did what he thought was the best option.
s̶t̶a̶l̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ watching him closely.
the next time there was a ghost attack he tried to find fenton before phantom appeared but he failed as the boy was already out of the class even before the ghost attack happened. and it happened again.
huh.
wes decided just one lesson (turned into the whole day) to watch fenton rather than listening to what the teacher was saying. then he saw it. some kind of visible breath like you breath in the cold weather. then fenton excused himself to the bathroom and another ghost attack happened.
he got him now.
next time right after fenton excused himself to the bathroom wes also excused himself. he was right there. some glowing rings appeared around the black haired boy and he turned into the beloved cryptid of amity park.
wes was right he was half ghost half human.
after getting his confirmation wes was satisfied but now he was confused more than ever. everyone loved phantom but fenton here was getting bullied everyday by the same person who basically worshipped phantom. would it be easier for him if everybody knew who he was? i mean sure he had ghost hunters for parents but wes was sure fentons wouldnt hurt their own kid even if that kid was a ghost.
so wes made it his mission to help him come out easily. but when he approached the trio (he was 100% sure both manson and foley knew the truth so no harm done) they acted like wes was crazy.
"really wes? me? and phantom?" danny laughed at wes. it annoyed wes.
"i know the truth fenton. but i dont understand why youre not telling anyone. everyone loves phantom." wes said trying to ignoring the gaslighting.
"if i was phantom which i am not, i would have my own reason not to tell." danny tried to reason with wes with a slight annoyance in his voice.
"anyway theres no point in talking about this seeing phantom is a ghost and danny is a human." sam tried to shut down the conversation.
"no hes both. i saw him transform." as soon as wes told them he saw the trio's eyes widened. tucker was the one who broke the silence.
"saw him transform? like some kind of magical girl? cmon wes at least be more realistic." he tried to play it off sam joined him but danny still looked petrified.
"are you sure youre not watching too much anime or something?" sam and tucker laughed it off.
wes felt the rage in his veins. he was right and they knew it. so he was going to proved it. to everyone that danny was in fact phantom and to danny that everything would be easier for him if people knew.
wes started to gather evidence. he would talk about it to his friends but no one ever heard him out. it made him even more furious. he started to lose friends but he didnt care. he was going to prove them all.
he only stopped trying to expose phantom after seeing GIW trying to kill a normal kid because they thought he was phantom without any conformation or any hesitation. wes didnt realize how dangerous it could be for danny until then.
he felt bad. so now he decided to help him somehow. people thought he was crazy right? then he was gonna convince people who could hurt fenton he was wrong by acting even crazier. was it gonna cost him all his years of high school? probably but if people heard him out before he couldve got the boy killed and he couldnt just stop because if he stopped abruptly it would be more suspicious and frankly he didnt want to risk it.
what did he get himself into.

first concept of my rook!! his name is faolan and he's a dalish crow :))
backstory and lore tidbits under the cut bc it's alot 👇
fal was part of a dalish clan roaming northeastern thedas, and had been first to the keeper since his magic manifested (around 8 yrs old). he was quite troublesome, impatient, and had a temper. one day when he was 15, he stormed off in a fit of anger mid-lesson with the keeper, disappearing into the forest on his own for several hours until he'd calmed down. when he came back, his clan were all dead, and whoever was responsible was long gone.
after pulling himself together, he packed his things and left in search of another clan. there was one nearby, he knew, but when he reached them, they refused to take him in; they already had too many mages, they said. faolan knew this wasn't true, and instead suspected that his well-known poor character was the reason he was turned away, but for once he said nothing and just turned away. it was time for a different path, it seemed.
his journey took him to the nearby city of treviso, where upon learning of the antivan crows he practically begged to be let in. after all that happened, all he wanted was to kill, and to find whoever murdered his clan, and kill them too. after some time and trials, he was accepted in, and his training began.
after officially killing his first mark at 18, he paid another visit to the nearby dalish clan, for nothing else but to ask for his vallaslin. he wasn't a first anymore, but he had become a hunter, in a way, and thought he'd earned his markings. the clan's keeper begrudgingly agreed, and faolan got his vallaslin: the twisted branches which symbolised elgar'nan, the god of vengeance, for that is the path he'd taken when they'd turned him away.
over the next few years, the antivan crows began to receive more and more contracts on members of the venatori. during this time, faolan discovered that they were behind the murder of his clan: they had been searching for information on elven lore, and had chosen the violent path with his clan. fal was lucky enough to swipe a few contracts on the specific members that were involved and kill them personally; but when it was all over, he felt nothing. it seemed that getting vengeance wasn't as gratifying as he thought it'd be. in the end, his clan were still dead, they weren't coming back, nothing was going to be like it used to be... he had a new life now, one filled with plots and murder, and he really hadn't been in the headspace to process how permanent that'd be.
so that's faolan and where he is now. he's about 25 now and he feels kinda stuck in life, his past is still weighing on him and he's constantly just trying to distract himself with work. i think the solas job & then the forming of the veilguard is the first time that things start to feel a little different for him? like he's actually doing something important for once... and he finally gets friends yay :)
some tidbits:
as a kid he got into fights all the time. ALL the time. this continued on until he got into the crows and started losing
^^ he never used magic while fighting btw. that's cheating.
personality wise nowadays he's more guarded and doesn't really like to socialise, it's not that he's "socially awkward" it's just that he'd rather keep to himself. i think the veilguard is the first time he kinda comes out of his shell so to speak
that being said he will still absolutely kick your ass if provoked.
he's the kind of guy you see at the bar sitting at a solo table in the corner staring at everybody who comes in
his eyes both used to be that goldenish colour; his left eye turned silver when his magic manifested
doesn't know any healing magic. he hasn't bothered to use it since his clan died, and has forgotten how to do it
the tips of his ears get hot when someone casts magic nearby
takes shots at veilguard team meetings
hates any and all weather, honestly how he managed to survive 15 years in a dalish clan is beyond me
can be very charming and really good at flirting when he wants to be, but is an absolute disaster when it comes to showing genuine affection
has whatever the deity equivalent of daddy issues is with elgar'nan
okay i'm all done but on a related note for that last point here's a lazy meme as a gift for scrolling this far:

WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME?
kaiser as your shitty university roommate
gender neutral reader
Tumblr media
Kaiser’s reputation precedes him quite a bit. It was entirely Noa’s idea to force him to enroll into university, so that he could learn to “properly interact with other kids his age” rather than ripping into them whenever Kaiser felt like it. And with him already being a world-renowned soccer star, he instantly catapults himself as a school celebrity of sorts the very moment he’s enrolled. Everybody fawns over the New Generation World Eleven striker that had crash landed on your university campus, eager to get to know him and claim their stake at short-lived popularity and fame through him. Of course, it’s your luck that you’d somehow end up being assigned to him as your roommate through the school’s random roommate assignment.
Kaiser genuinely thought it would be a piece of cake to win you over—practically everybody at school is head-over-heels for him! But he’s such a shitty roommate, you can’t see him as anything except a conceited, spoiled brat that can’t even wipe his own ass. You’re sick of being greeted with a sink filled with dirty classes, filthy cleats dumped on your common area floor, the toilet seat being left up, and his sweaty jerseys draped over the couch. As if to add insult to injury, Kaiser insists that you be grateful to room with him—as if you’re not the one that has to put up with his godforsaken living habits.
Your hatred quickly morphs into apathy as you give up dealing with him and pretends as if he doesn’t exist. It throws Kaiser for the biggest loop ever. He pretends it doesn’t bother him. Why should your attention matter when he could easily bag the hottest person in school or get invited to the most exclusive parties? But something about you giving him the cold shoulder or even refusing to greet him “good morning” as you storm to class has him squirming and antsy, and he becomes increasingly more desperate to get you to let go of your nonchalance. He tries being more obnoxious at first, shooting you a cheeky smirk as he drags his latest hook-up into your shared dorm, only for it to backfire when you pack up your things and leave a note telling him that you’re going to crash at a friend’s place instead if he doesn’t get his shit together.
It’s a horrendous wake up call for the prodigy. At first he shrugs it off. You’re his roommate that nobody knows about; isn’t it better to have the dorm all to himself? But Kaiser instantly grows lonely. He can’t annoy you in the mornings before your lectures, and he can’t steal the snacks out of your fridge if you’re not there. Even the fact that your toothbrush isn’t propped up against his in the shared bathroom makes the boy’s heart pang with need, and the once crowded dorm seems so terribly big now that it’s just him in it. The breaking point comes for him when you ignore him outside in public too: he eagerly bounds up to you after class one day to smooth things over, only to have you completely brush him aside. 
He wants to win your trust over so badly that everyone else notices his strange behavior too. The arrogant emperor of the school starts getting on his knees to help clean up around the dorm and carries his weight, and as if to apologize, Kaiser brings home pretty gifts and offers to cook you your meals. He doesn’t know where along the line he’s fallen so badly, but it drives him insane to know that the one person who isn’t flattered by his ridiculous titles or even his wealth is the one person he wants so badly. He slowly ignores the catcalls and invitations from his groupies to spend more time with you: proposing movie nights as a sign of goodwill, walking you to class, and even volunteering to clean the bathroom unprompted.
Once the threat of you moving out is removed though, Kaiser still keeps his cheeky behavior. You could be cooking your dinner, and he’ll sneak up from behind to wrap his arms around your waist and rest his head wherever he can. And when you yelp and scold him, he’ll smirk and comment about how he loves the domesticity! It’s like the two of you are a married couple, except instead of you blushing and giving in, you’ll simply smack him with a wooden spoon and tell him to do the homework he’s been putting off for months. Not that it matters to him—Kaiser will just stick his tongue out and giggle about how you’ll “come around” soon enough.
Kaiser’s painfully aware that he’s been lacking severely in the “good roommate” department, but he’ll do his very best to make up for it by being the world’s best boyfriend! He’s determined to have you in his life in some way, and even though his time at the university’s limited, he’ll follow after you like he’s attached to your hip. It’s such a power rush, knowing that THE Michael Kaiser would do anything at your beck-and-call, and with every passing day that you start trusting him again, Kaiser can’t wait for the day when you progress from being his thorny roommate to his one and only darling. He firmly believes your place isn’t at an arm’s length, confined to the awkward acquaintance of sharing a dorm, as much as it is as his significant other, held close to his heart.
“Awwww, is the dorm too cramped for the two of us? You know, if you married me, that wouldn’t be a problem! C’mon, I have the paycheck for it. We’ll get hitched, and I’ll buy the biggest house on the block for us to share! Ah, but we have to share a bedroom if we do that though! A little give-and-take is only fair, don’t you think?”

BAU headcannon: Reader who is Muslim and wears a Hijab
Please If your comfortable could you maybe write something where the BAU gets a new member who happens to be Muslim and wears a hijab, like what they would do or say if someone says something about it.... Or just in general how they would interact with her. - Anon����
A/N: as I am not Muslim and I don’t know much about the culture or about wearing a hijab I’ve tried my best to write this as a headcannon, I hope it’s alright!
You’ll always be sure to get a warm welcome from Garcia, never fear because she’ll be happy to be your best friend from day one
Everybody else is happy to have a new helping hand on the team
The team, especially Hotch will try make any accommodations that you may need, especially for Muslim holidays
Thankfully Reid is well versed in many things, which means that he also knows exactly what to do in any kind of situation that may come up
There may be a lot of questions, the team don’t want to seem rude but they want to get to know as much about your religion as possible
At dinners, especially at Rossi’s you can be sure it is a 100% safe place and everything will be suitable for you
Undercover for whatever reason? Don’t worry you’ll always be paired with one of the ladies
They are extremely protective off you
They will not tolerate any discrimination against you
Someone’s says anything rude, offensive or racist? They’re ready to jump in
Derek is straight in front of you, telling whoever it is to start on him and see what happens
Emily is quick to shut them down, threatening them if she has to
JJ is right there beside Emily or Derek, ready to do whatever it takes to get this person away from you
Rossi is next to you, waiting for you to let him know he can jump in, he’ll be furious but he’ll follow your lead
Hotch is straight to getting ready to get this person fired, he doesn’t care about how far he has to dig in order to do it or how many heads he’s gotta go over
Reid isn’t much for confrontation but so help anybody who dares to speak ill to you, he will reign down hell of facts with some threats slipped in (and he’s already texted the whole team)
Garcia is immediately researching this person and any dirt on them she’s sending straight to your phone for you to use
After they’ll all check on you, make sure you’re okay and if they stepped out of line when defending you they will apologise
They know you can handle your own, but they don’t let any kid disrespect their family
They are all ready to join in on your holidays as well, learn about them and take part in them
They won’t make you take part in any holidays or events you don’t want to or can’t take part in
Rossi will learn to cook your dishes
Reid will learn how to speak and read your language so you aren’t alone (it wouldn’t surprise me if he already knows it though)
Garcia please oh please take her shopping with you, show her all your favourite outfits, show her EVERYTHING
JJ wants to know all about your home, your family, friends
They are all so down to go visit your family if you wanted them too, or come with you somewhere
You don’t feel comfortable going somewhere but need to go? Text anybody on the team and they’ll rock up so fast
They’re a huge family
Guess what?
You’re part of that family too
Oh and food

everybody loves a coffeeshop au pt. 3
[part 1] [part 2] [part 4] [read on ao3]
October 11th
"I have returned with spoils!" Eddie announced, carefully pulling the door of the tattoo parlor open as he balanced six drinks in his arms, using his chin to keep them from moving around too much. He was immediately rushed by the receptionist, Barb, who held the door open and took the top drink carrier from him to lighten the load. "Thanks, B."
"No problem," she smiled. 
"One of those is yours," Eddie nodded as they set all the drinks on the front desk.
"The one with the teabag in it?"
"Oh, I would imagine," Eddie grabbed the large latte and moved it over to the other drink carrier to run everyone else their drinks.
"Ed-man! Thanks bro, sorry to make you do the caffeine run again," Argyle, his boss, yelled as Eddie made his rounds.
"Hey, it's no problem. I gotta do something while I'm here," Eddie dispersed the drinks to everyone, giving Argyle his weird fancy latte thing first.
He'd been officially working with the Three of Cups crew for all of nine and a half hours and he'd already done the coffee run twice. He was newer than their other apprentice, whom he had apparently relieved of this particular duty.
Yesterday it was whatever, he expected to be doing menial work before he actually got to learn or practice anything. Today was… different.
"Hey, Barb, question," Eddie said, sliding back up to the front desk and pulling his hot chocolate out of the carrier. 
"Hm?" Barb hummed, sipping her drink.
"The baristas at the Waystation. You know any of them?"
"Not personally. Why?" Eddie leaned against the desk and sipped his hot chocolate. It tasted better yesterday. "Eddie, you're blushing."
"Hm? Am I?" Eddie felt his cheeks with the back of his hand. Sure enough, his face was very warm. Barb laughed.
"Is there a cute barista over there or something?" she giggled.
"Yeah… Or something." This time Eddie could feel his face flush. 
"What's her name?"
"His name, um… Oh my god, I don't know. I didn't catch it." 
"Well," Barb said, laughing hard. "I'm sure they'll send you back out tomorrow."
Eddie looked forward to the caffeine run every single day after that.
October 15th
"His name is Steve," Eddie said as Barb held the door open for him.
"Steve, huh? That's a pretty boring name for the alleged single prettiest man you've ever seen," Barb said, putting air quotes around the last part.
"God, he's so hot, B." They had started developing a regular dance with the coffee order, Eddie going around delivering drinks to their owners and coming back up to the desk to gossip with Barb for a minute. This time, she was on the phone when he got back up to the front.
"Yep, you are all confirmed. Ah huh. Yup, no problem. Mhm, bye." She hung up the phone and turned to Eddie, pushing her glasses up. "Okay, I'll bite. Describe him."
"I'll do you one better," Eddie smiled, digging his phone out of his pocket. He fiddled with it for a minute and passed it to her.
"Eddie,” she scolded, taking his phone. “You snuck a pic- oh my god."
"Right?"
"No. Oh my god. Eddie, do you know his last name?"
"Are you kidding? I barely know his first name."
"Fair. But I'm pretty sure this is Nancy's high school ex."
"You're fucking joking. No way."
"I promise you I would not lie about this. Hang on. Send me this picture, I'll ask her."
Eddie hadn't met Nancy yet, but he'd heard about her. She was Argyle's boyfriend's other partner, and she and Argyle were "the very best of bros" according to him. Barb was Nancy's… Something. Eddie wasn't sure, given the situation, if they were romantically involved or just long-time best friends, and he didn't feel like he was in a position to ask. Either way, it was this game of relationship telephone that had Barb working as the receptionist at Argyle's tattoo parlor.
He did as she asked and sent her the picture of Steve. It was a nice picture, Eddie had to admit. He wasn't a photographer by any means, but it was a clear side profile of Steve prepping espresso shots. It was probably the nicest picture he'd ever taken of anyone.
Barb, still staring at her phone, started tapping the desk to get his attention.
"I knew it! She says yes, that's Steve and yes, he's bisexual so go ahead and shoot your shot."
Eddie almost choked on his hot chocolate.
"Woah, B, I think you might both be jumping the gun there," he said, clearing his throat. Barb set her phone down and looked at him incredulously.
"Please, Eddie, you practically had hearts in your eyes when you came in." 
"I- I did not," Eddie stuttered, face growing warmer with every passing second. Barb was just staring at him, one eyebrow cocked.
"Okay, Eddie, sure."
November 18th
"I literally have no idea what's happening." Eddie had done the coffee run basically every day for a month and every signal he got from Steve was contradictory to the last. 
"Do tell," Barb asked. Nancy was standing behind the desk with her today, just visiting. Eddie had met both her and Jonathan a few times by this point, and god he was glad she was there today.
"I don't get it. He is always the one taking our order. And I keep thinking I catch him looking at me, but he never says anything! And I think he might be dating one of his coworkers? They're like, weirdly friendly with each other. But then he smiles at me like… I dunno. And sometimes he'll grab the door for me if they aren't busy… Nance. Level with me. What the fuck is he doing?"
"Well," Nancy laughed. "I'm pretty sure he isn't dating anybody right now, but I haven't actually talked to him myself in years so I could be wrong. If he's flirting with you, he's being very subtle… Maybe he's worried that you're straight! It's not like you go around waving a pride flag or anything."
Eddie thought for a minute, holding his cup to his lips but not actually drinking from it.
"I mean, okay, that's fair. What do I do? Barb, how can I make myself look more gay?"
Barb stared at him for a long moment, flicking her gaze over all of him that she could see from her side of the reception desk.
"Hang on," she said, getting up and sliding past Nancy, heading back to the break room. Eddie and Nancy shared a moment of confusion while Barb was gone. She came back a minute later and walked right up to Eddie, pinning something to his vest.
"Oh, yeah, that might do it," Nancy nodded.
"What? What did you just put on me?" Eddie pulled at his vest, looking for the new pin.
"Pronoun pin," Barb said, tapping on it. Sure enough, there was a small red button with He/Him in white lettering sitting amongst the rest of his collection.
"Why did you have this?" Eddie laughed.
"I volunteer at the Pride center at the college. I've got every pronoun you've ever heard of and probably some you haven't on a pin in my backpack."
"Huh. Alright."
"It might take a while for him to notice," Nancy warned. "If he really has been checking you out, maybe sooner rather than later, but be patient with him. He had a couple concussions in high school."
"A couple?"
"Yeah. Sports, and he got into a lot of fights."
"Lost a lot of fights," Barb corrected.
"I mean. I think he won… one or two, maybe, but yeah."
It took almost no time at all, in fact, for Steve to notice the pin. A few days later, the next time Eddie's coffee run overlapped with Steve's shift, he caught Steve's eyes flick down to the pins on his chest while he dropped his change in the tip jar. Eddie tried to flash him his sweetest smile, but he wasn't exactly a naturally charming guy. Nevertheless, even though Steve kept up his streak of not saying anything, he could barely keep his eyes off Eddie to the point that he nearly burned himself cleaning the steam wand. Eddie politely pretended he didn't just watch the whole thing happen. 
December 3rd
"He talked to me," Eddie said, almost shaking with excitement but determined not to drop anything.
"Oh yeah?" Barb smiled as they went through the routine.
"Yeah! Is it supposed to snow today?"
"What?"
"I- Okay, I promise it's related, hang on." Eddie had never handed everyone their drinks so fast. "I don't know what version of Steve Harrington you guys knew in school, but this Steve is kind of a dork."
"You say with all the love in your heart, I'm sure," Barb smiled, leaning back in her chair as Eddie came around to stand behind the desk with her. "I just checked. Yes, it's supposed to snow, but not till tonight."
"Steve says sooner."
"What, does he dabble in meteorology or something now?" Barb chuckled.
"Nah, he just asked if it was snowing yet because I guess all the early bird old people with trick knees have been bitching all morning."
"He talked to you… About the weather?"
"Yeah, see? Dork! But it was like, a whole conversation, and he started it!"
“Alright, a win is a win I suppose,” Barb shrugged as the phone began to ring. Eddie took that as his cue to actually go do his job.
About half an hour later, Barb spun around in her chair and yelled at him to get his attention.
"What?" Eddie looked up at her. She smiled, pointing out the front window as fat snowflakes started lazily drifting down.
"Snowing," she added, in case he didn't get the message.
"Well, I'll be damned…"
After that, making small talk with Steve seemed easier. It was never anything serious, always "how's your day" and such, but they were talking. To Eddie, talking to Steve felt as natural as breathing. It never felt awkward or embarrassing. Something about him just drew Eddie in. Steve has that effect on people, Nancy assured him.
December 15th
"Dude, I swear on my mother, if you don't ask him out, I will do it for you."
Eddie was lying on Gareth's bedroom floor telling him for the hundredth time about his crush on his regular barista. Gareth was sitting on his bed, trying in vain to do homework.
"It's not that simp-"
"Oh, shut the fuck up with the it's not that simple crap! It really is that simple! Give him your number, say you wanna hang out!"
"Oh, and what, bring him back to my house so Wayne can scare him off?"
"I don't know, go see a movie or something! Jesus, Ed, it's like you've never dated anyone before."
"I've never been the one doing the asking, no!"
"Oh my god you're gonna give me an aneurysm."
December 30th, Morning
Okay. This was it. Today was the day. He had a plan. He was gonna give Steve his number and invite him to the party. Easy peasy. Nothing was going to stop him.
Except Steve not being there.
Well, shit.
"How'd it go?" Barb asked, already at the door.
"It didn't," Eddie grumbled.
"What do you mean?"
"He wasn't there."
"What? Why? He's normally there on-"
"Yeah, B, I know. He wasn't there."
"I wonder if he's sick?"
"He seemed fine yesterday… Oh, great, thanks Barb, now I'm worried something happened to him."
"Sorry," Barb gave him a sympathetic smile and sipped her drink.
Eddie did his best to combat any anxious thoughts that came up during his shift and go about his day as normal.
"Eddie!" Barb yelled, almost a moment too late as Steve walked past the shop about halfway through Eddie's shift. 
When Eddie looked up, Steve was backtracking, looking in the window directly at him. He flashed Eddie a smile that made his heart skip and waved before going, presumably, to the Waystation.
"Argyle, can I-"
"Hit him with your best shot, lover boy," Argyle said, holding a thumbs up to him from across the room, not looking away from the client in his chair. Eddie bolted immediately, grabbing his coat out of the back and rushing out the door.
He stopped just out of view of the coffee shop to steady his breathing. This was it. It had to be. 
Alright, Munson, go time.
And oh god he actually flirted a little bit on purpose. Success.
Except, no. He was halfway back to the Three of Cups when he realized he forgot what he originally went in for. Shit. 
When he finally got back to the tattoo parlor, he pressed his back to the front door, counting his breaths. Barb raised her eyebrows at him. He couldn't help it, he broke out into a grin that made his cheeks hurt and nodded at her, their silent conversation probably confusing the hell out of the clients waiting in the lobby.
He checked his phone once he'd shed his coat in the break room and found a text from an unknown number. He texted back right away and saved the contact.

Random ROR headcanons
Reggie Jacobs:
-I don’t care that she’s canonically a man. She’s a butch to me. And she kisses girls.
-She’s semi nonverbal, preferring to either be silent or make growling/grunting sounds. But in random situations she’ll casually start talking until she doesn’t feel like it anymore.
-According to her MU card, she has a low IQ (30 to be exact), which makes me wonder how she got into ROR. Maybe Johnny was impressed by her wild nature and let her in and is slightly intimidated by her so he’s avoiding confrontation. Thats just a theory.
-Now here comes the personal headcanons.
-Due to her lack of emotional control, lack of communication, and poor school performance in her childhood, her parents tried to get her help (more so because they didn’t want to be known as the family with an unstable kid), but the adults in her life. Basically it didn’t work. And Reggie hated how everyone in her school was either scared of her or hated her.
-So eventually she stopped trying. She decided to become the bully everyone thought she was. Because what’s the point in trying to prove you’re not a bad person when everyone has already decided you’re hopeless?
-She thinks she’s better like this. In control. Free. And she’s pretty much stopped caring about what everybody else thinks.
-Can, will, and has beat a bitch up.
-Arm wrestling champ at parties.
-Eats her food in one bite, plate and everything.
-Will go apeshit if she hears someone mocking her intelligence. It’s a sore spot for her.
-Has, on multiple occasions, gotten too excited at parties/events and ripped her shirt clean off.
-Her tail is sensitive.
Chip Goff:
-Seafood liker. He’ll eat that shit raw.
-Quarterback in the school football team.
-Yes, he smokes weed sometimes.
-Every single morning he lumbers down the stairs, yawning and stretching his arms, wearing nothing BUT his worn out boxers to make himself some cereal, mumbling a sleepy “Mornin’.” To his frat brothers, unaware that they’re all a bunch of fags.
-Probably the only mostly normal member.
-He can breathe fire, but he doesn’t show it off like some other fire-breathers. Sometimes he’ll use it to discreetly cook some snacks.
-He’s pan with no preference at all. A casual guy most of the time.
Chet Alexander:
-Swagless T boy time. (Somebody tell him to wash his binder)
-He has a problem with scratching at his legs, scarring them, picking at them.
-Ironically despite that, he still gets anxious when he has to do his T shot.
-(Human) He’s tried taping his chest a few times.
-(Human) He has ectrodactyly in his right hand, making it look like a crab claw.
-(Human) He wears the eye patch to cover his facial palsy.
-Johnny tried to fix his acne but it just keeps coming back, so he gave up.
-Autistic and gay. Probably has other illnesses too.
-The bed wetting thing is from stress. He’s learned to just take the teasing and insults.
-Getting hit by Johnny isn’t anything new to him. He thinks he deserves it for annoying him, or stepping out of line, or for running his mouth again… Just trying to justify Johnny in his head. Of course he has a breakdown in his room later but hey, he’ll wake up the next morning and forget about it.
-Severely bullied in school as a kid. Definitely the cause of him being so dependent on ROR and specifically Johnny. He knows he’s nobody without ROR. It’s all he has. Johnny is his HERO. He saved him from his pointless life, gave him a purpose, made him someone important. He owes him everything.
-And he was ignored by his parents.
-In ROR, Johnny picks and chooses who hears about what. Ironically enough, Chet is the one who gets to know the least.
-Chet’s room is surprisingly void of personality… It’s just a bunch of ROR stuff.
-He’s aware how pathetic he is, deep down, and that he’s a joke among his peers. He just pushes those thoughts away for most of the day.
That’s all for now. Bye

What's the word again?
Tumblr media
GIF by @storiesofsvu2-0
Alex Blake (x reader?) Summary: Alex finds out asexuality is a thing! Word Count: 1.818
author's note: asexual!Alex is my new roman empire. first time writting Alex so I'd really like to read your thoughts! not a lot of romance this time, but ther is some fluff. Alex and reader are sweet and I enjoyed writting this so there might be a ch2 idk.
What’s the word again?
Alex knows how to socialize. She’d learned the rules a long time ago; catalogued and memorized the expected behavior to each specific social situation as she handcrafted her own guidebook to human interactions. Some things changed here and there over the years, but mostly she did fine. Alex Blake knows how to socialize.
That doesn’t mean she has to like it.
She especially dislikes it when it comes to teenagers. Something about that particular age group always has her on edge, as if she’s about to get caught on a lie anytime. She’s not quite sure what she would be lying about, though.
Arguably, social interactions weren’t her strong suit, but she did just fine most of the time. Being so good with words certainly helped. The fact that she stopped caring so much about what other people thought of her helped even better.
She could hold her own with people her age, most of them having grown up on the same social environment and signing off on the same silent agreements of social interactions she unwillingly did. Kids could be unpredictable, but they had a genuine and straight to the point attitude she found easy to bond with, always enjoying her time with the tinny humans who had yet to learn all the unnecessary red tape. But teenagers? She had a tough time being around teenagers when she was one of them.
And it seems it didn’t get any easier now.
Which is why she was currently standing in an empty bathroom, staring blankly at her reflection as she tried to drown out the sounds of the party going on outside.
The university she was teaching at since she left the bureau had organized a week of immersion in the college experience to last year high school students of all over the state. For a week, they were no longer high school kids, but college students. Which might have been a great experience for them, but for Alex? Not so much. This farewell party marks the end of what had to have been the most overwhelming week of her career as a professor.
At least it’s almost over… She thought as she washed her hands one last time before heading back, a task that would’ve been a little bit easier to accomplish if a certain psychology professor had managed to show up on time for once.
Not that Alex had any right being upset about it, she hadn’t exactly told Y/N how important her company was, that she provided a source of safety and familiarity crucial to surviving gatherings like this one. Y/N knew the week had been less than pleasant for Alex, but she didn’t realize her presence had been the one thing keeping Alex afloat on more than one occasion.
“Figured I would find you here…” The teasing but gentle words pulled her from her thoughts.
“Punctual as ever, I see.” She shot back with an amused glint in her eyes, Y/N’s mere presence already brightening her mood.
“Please, you can’t make an entrance if you arrive before everybody else.” As Alex chuckled, Y/N held out her hand. “C’mon, assuming you’ve been here since the start, only about half an hour longer and we can ditch.”
They made their way back to the party and closer to the table filled with snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. As Y/N poured them both a glass of orange juice, Alex whispered, “You don’t have to leave just because I want to, I know you enjoy having them around.”
“Even I have had my fill.” Y/N puts on her most over the top grimace. Alex doesn’t buy it for a second. “But, yeah, they’re pretty fun.”
“How has any of this been fun to you?”
“They are teenagers!” She gestures excitedly to the room. “They are a whole subculture on their own. Then there are subcultures within the subculture…”
“Nerd.” Alex teases, if only to spare her from how cute Y/N looks when she’s starts rambling.
“Said the linguistic professor.”
“Fair enough.”
“It did surprise me that you don’t like them. Sure, to me they’re an endless source of entertainment, but I thought you’d be at least interested. I mean, if you pay attention, you can see it’s almost as if each group has its own vocabulary…”
“Yes, and I understand not one of them.” Alex lets out a nervous laugh as she remembers the countless times she’d felt lost among her temporary students. “I feel really old saying that.”
“You should.” Y/N deadpanned, earning a harmless slap on her shoulder as Alex rolled her eyes and redirected her attention to the group of high school students they were supposed to be interacting with.
Y/N wasn’t wrong, though. Alex did find the diverse ways the teens talk to and about each other rather interesting. It’s just… she would appreciate it a lot better with she didn’t have to participate. A particular incident has been hunting her thoughts for the past couple of days, and it just happened Y/N was one of the best – and only – people she could talk about it with.
“If you’re done judging me…” She sees Y/N mouthing a never, but just rolls her eyes and keeps going, “There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you about.”
She pauses for a second, not sure how to word the question properly. She’s curious but doesn’t want to overstep. Maybe she should have just googled it. Y/N is the kind of person one can ask pretty much anything to, as long as it’s in good faith, she never takes offense. It’s one of the things Alex loves about her. That and how Y/N always knows when to prompt her further and when to wait and give her some time, as she’s doing right now, quietly sipping on her drink as Alex gathers her thoughts.
“Do you know anything about asexuality?” Y/N nods and Alex thinks she might need to give her some context. “I overheard some of the kids talking about it and I am curious as I don’t think I ever heard of it before and I’m pretty familiar with sexual diversity…”
“Yeah, it’s a slightly smaller group within the LGBT+ community. There are nuances to it, but the definition is pretty straight forward, I guess, it’s the lack of sexual attraction to other people.”
She had figured out that much, being a linguistic and all. She doesn’t need a dictionary. She is not sure what she needs. She needs to talk about it, needs to understand. She needs to know what it is about that word that has her feeling like her word is about to crumble.
Alex knows her frustration is misplaced, though, so she tries to communicate better.
“Could you explain it to me a little better? How does that work?”
“Are you asking the psychology professor or the LGBT advocate?” Y/N smiles at her and she feels a bit of tension leave her body.
“Both?” She smiles right back.
“Well… Let’s start with what you already know. Think of asexuality as something separated from homo, bi, hetero… as in it’s not exactly about who you feel attracted to, but about how much or how often. An asexual person would experience less or no sexual attraction regardless of gender. They could feel no sexual attraction at all, they could feel some sexual attraction depending on the context or they could even feel a  lot of sexual attraction just not often. Am I making sense?”
“In theory…” The answer slips past her lips without much thought, Y/N looks at her questioning and Alex tries to come up with a better one. “I just didn’t know this was a thing that happened.”
Y/N just hums in agreement.
Isn’t that how everyone feels? It’s what she really means to ask. She is not ready for that answer, even if she already knows it.
Silence falls over them again, but this time the thoughts running around Alex’s mind are darker. The conversation somehow leading her to what felt like a lifetime ago, when she’d first discovered that there were girls who liked girls and that she’d been spending way too much time admiring her best friend’s beautiful eyes. The feeling somehow so similar and yet so different. Terrifying in a whole new way.
“It’s okay, you can ask. It’s you and me.” Y/N’s gentle reassurance snaped her out of that train of thought.
“Is it a condition? As in a psychological disorder?” She didn’t know what answer scared her more.
“No. I mean, it could be resulting of trauma, sure, but then most of our sexual preferences are, to some extent.”
“Fair enough” Alex felt her body relax once again as she decided that the time for spiraling out would come later, now was time for answers. “Psychological explanation, please.”
“Good old sublimation, I suppose. Libido being channeled somewhere else.”
“Simple like that?”
“Simple like that.”
 Alex nods and doesn’t say anything for a while. They stand shoulder to shoulder in comfortable silence watching the crowd.
“Has it been half an hour yet?”
She doesn’t miss how Y/N failed to check the clock.
“Yeah. Let’s get you home.”
The ride to Alex’s house was a short and quite one, Alex lost in thoughts as she looked out the window and Y/N more than happy to let her be, well aware there was something deeper about Alex’s “curiosity”.
“Could they fall in love?”
“Of course. Sexual and romantic attraction are two completely different aspects of the human experience. They can be correlated but aren’t necessarily.”
Alex nodded and hummed contemplatively, before turning her head to look at Y/N and giving her a smile.
“If we can have sex with people we don’t love, we can love people we don’t have sex with.” She shrugged. “I just always assumed we all felt the same thing, you know?”
Sensing Alex was in a better mood, Y/N jokes, “I mean, think about it, you go months without seeing your husband and you’re fine. I go one week without sex and I’m crawling up the walls.” Her expression of horror against the very idea making Alex laugh. “We are all different, some of us just like to have words for it.”
Alex is linguistics professor.
Y/N parked in front of Alex’s house and turned to look at her.
“I have a few articles I could send you that might help you understand it all a bit better. Some online blogs as well, could be nice to have a more personal perspective.”
“I would like that, thank you.”
“I’m also here to talk. About anything. Anytime.”
Alex chuckled. Y/N knew her way too well in such a short time.
“Send me those links, will you?” She winked at Y/N, who just shook her head and smiled at Alex’s stubbornness.
Alex all but ran over to her door. She had a lot of reading to do.

Dabi Courtship/Flirting Headcanons (with emphasis on a LoV reader)
He’s not very good at it and you really are going to be hard pressed to figure out he’s actually doing it. His love language is basically time spent together (since so much of his time in the League is him fucking off and doing his own thing, the fact that he willingly spends time with you even if he says nothing at all for at least a half hour is something.
Not even kidding. If you’re one of the League, he’s just sitting or standing in the same room as you and occasionally staring at you as you do whatever it is you’re doing. He won’t look away if you meet his gaze but he WILL have the gall to ask “what are you looking at?” Not in the mean way (at least, not intentionally), it’s just that HE knows why he’s looking at you, he doesn’t know why YOU are or if you have a problem with it.
READMORE FOR LENGTH AND MINOR SPOILERS
Not really the jealous type at all. He’s pretty confident in himself if he manages to bag you in the first place— you gotta have some kind of thing for a guy with as many personality eccentricities as he has. Doesn’t help that everyone in the League is their own special kind of weirdo (affectionate) so there really isn’t anything to BE jealous of. He’s got his own niche filled but he might glare juuuuust a little at the hot alt guy with a septum piercing at the record store a little bit if he tries to talk to you a little too close. Something something “get lost, junior” etc.
In a similar vein, he’s not jealous of Hawks at all if you get close to him (or Hawks attempting to get close to YOU to try and find out things about Dabi), but he doesn’t trust him at all so he tends to insert himself directly between the two of you anyways and isn’t very subtle about it. Also the kind of guy to grab your head (or shoulder if you’re taller than he is) and lead you physically out of the conversation. It’s actually kind of funny and most people wouldn’t believe how gentle he is about it.
Dabi doesn’t particularly feel any way about his burns: they’re just as much a part of him as anything else, aside from the obvious health practices he needs to keep up on. He only covers them because it’s like wearing a cardboard sign that says ARREST ME.
Dabi is the type to go “so what are we” after not saying literally anything beforehand that would indicate he is romantically interested in you. This is basically the interaction that puts everything in place so you can ACTUALLY start to date like semi-normal people. Not in the weird yandere way but just in the “this guy just does not have game” way.
Respects if you’re definitely not interested but if you say something like “you don’t know” then he just hums and says “That so.” And things continue on with a very slow-burn of him trying a little bit harder to be more obvious or to get you to realize he may not be Prince Charming, but he can definitely be what you need.
Kisses you first and completely without warning. Just goes “Bye” and then lays one on you directly on the lips in front of god and everybody. Leaves without saying anything in explanation, that’s on you to handle that, babe.
Toga knew the entire time. Twice is saying he also knew all along despite the fact that he was telling Toga “there just ain’t no fucking way” yesterday. Shigaraki just gives a long, judgemental look before proceeding back to whatever LoV business needs to be attended to. Compress laughs and Spinner wonders if that was some kind of mirage until Dabi comes back.
If they ask him about the Details(tm) he just goes “Mind your own business.” And Shigaraki has to really consider his fraternization policies bc Dabi has gotten at least 15% more annoying since he became your boyfriend. He already has a hard enough time getting Dabi to take him seriously and now that you’re dating he literally angles his body away from Shigaraki deliberately to look at you instead.
You’re gonna learn his real name when the rest of the world does. He couldn’t risk Hawks getting it out of you, one way or another, and as far as he’s concerned, he’s “Dabi” now. Any person he once was is more of a facet of the entire identity he embraces now. While he prefers to be called “Dabi”, he also doesn’t mind just being called “babe” or something along those lines in terms of names for just the two of you.

weekly lineup
for @stonyauniverse january week 3 // "nice try, canon"
for @warmandfluffybingocards // square: "free space"
marvel cinematic universe. tony stark/steve rogers. rated g. 1k.
canon-divergent au where steve and tony are still alive to lead the next generation of avengers.
— — —
Tony’s favorite thing about spending Sunday mornings in the Compound was watching Steve post the weekly team lineup.
“Alright, no pushing and shoving, this’ll be up here all week. You can take a look at it whenever you need to, okay?” Steve reminded everybody, though his gaze drifted pointedly toward the kids—the newer recruits—who were practically bouncing in their seats out of pure excitement. Slowly, Steve grabbed a Mjlonir-shaped magnet and stuck the roster in its usual spot on the fridge, backing a few steps away before he said, “Okay, it’s up! Go ahead, everyone. And remember — if your name’s at the top, you’re on-call this week, if you’re at the bottom, you’re on the reserve team, and if you’re not up there at all, you’ve got the week off.”
The words were like a starting shot, and despite Steve’s warning to take things slow, Peter, Kamala, and Kate all made a mad dash towards the list. Honestly, Tony was surprised none of them had knocked over any of the kitchen stools in their haste, though it seemed like Peter nearly tripped over himself on the way, his spidey-senses catching him just in time.
Steve looked over at Tony as if to say, can you believe this? even though he’d witnessed this exact scene play out countless times before. Tony just smiled behind his mug of coffee and offered a fond shake of his head to reply, I know.
It was a good system they had going on. Now that the rotating lineup of Avengers was growing every day, only about half the team needed to be on-call anymore, barring an actual end-of-the-universe level threat. And with so many newer, younger team members coming in, it only made sense to pair each of them up with a more experienced, more seasoned pro to learn the ropes. They trained together, they went on missions together, they learned from each other, and the next week, the newbies were partnered with someone else to repeat the process. It allowed them to hone different skills with different mentors, and see which personalities and powers meshed well together. 
It was certainly working out well so far, Tony had to admit. The newer Avengers were already starting to show a ton of improvement from all of the practice and mentorship, and the older ones benefited immensely from the occasional time off. Even if all the gods and super-soldiers around here weren’t slowed down by age, they still could use the rest — missions could be just as emotionally and mentally draining as they were physically, sometimes even more so.
In any case, it sure made things a lot easier than being on-call—and on edge—24/7. Besides, there was something to be said about having a general work-life balance, something that Tony wouldn’t have even dreamed of back in the early days. Now, he was finding that it wasn’t so bad, taking some time for himself. For the people he cared about.
He exchanged another glance with his co-captain.
“Come on, move over, I wanna see!” Kamala said, stuck peering over Peter and Kate’s shoulders, the shortest of the three of them.
“Aha! I got Natasha!” Kate said, finally moving out of Kamala’s way to give Nat a high-five.
“I’m with Thor!” Kamala announced, once she found her name on the roster. “Oh, this is gonna be so cool!”
"I've got Captain Rogers!" Peter glanced at Tony with a bright grin. “And— did you see, Mr. Stark? You're not up here this week!”
“I did see, Mr. Parker,” Tony replied with a laugh. “I made that list, y’know. Well, helped make it. If I had it entirely my way, Steve and I would both be getting the week off.”
His pointed look was met with a fond eye-roll, as Steve settled into the seat next to him. “We will, soon enough,” he promised, giving Tony a gentle pat on the arm in consolation. “Once we know that the trainees can handle themselves without us.”
“Hey, c’mon, give us some credit,” Kate scoffed. “We’ve been doing great so far!”
“She’s got a point there, Cap,” Natasha chimed in. “It won’t be the end of the world if you and Tony take a vacation. And if it is, we’ll call you back in.“
“Yeah, we’ve got things covered,” Kamala said confidently.
But before anyone else could offer up their two cents on the matter, the alarm went off overhead. Over the speakers, Maria Hill announced, “We’ve found a hidden HYDRA base operating out of the Catskills. All on-call team members and trainees report to the Quinjet immediately.”
Steve stood back up, just as the rest of the team turned their attention to him, waiting for orders. “Alright, Avengers, if you wanna prove something, now’s the time. Let’s give it our best out there,” he said, gaze softening as he looked over the newer recruits, then his husband. “And depending on how it goes, we can reconsider next week’s roster.”
Tony’s expression brightened, and he couldn’t help but lean in for a brief kiss, ignoring all of the feigned gagging from the rest of the team. When he pulled back, it was with a dazzling, determined smile. “Well, you heard him, everyone — suit up and head out! It’s time to kick some ass!”
Steve gave Tony a nudge. “You wanna do the honors?”
“Oh, no, you’ve got it, sweetheart. It’s your week, anyway.”
The anticipation in the room was nearly palpable as Steve cleared his throat. “Avengers, assemble!” he called, and everybody moved at once, rushing to get ready.
As always, the kids were the first ones out the door.

lol hey this is just a vent post abt my life rn I don’t really expect any on u to read this
Tw if you do read this: talk of Anxiety, ppl not understanding neurological limitations, talk of vauge self exit and SH (its very minor) overall vent post shit
Sorry u have to see me in such a shifty mental state but I need to get this off my chest before I resort to violence
Once again, not KND stuff this is a Vent Post
I’m not neurotypical by any means I'm on some spectrum but all we know so far is that I have OCD and Anxiety. Also I'm going into the 9th grade which that In of itself is a stressful situation but in the last four years I've never stayed in the same school so seeing the same people is hella new to me. I have this really bad habit of going no contact with people after the school year is over because I usually never see them again. My mom can't seem to understand that there are simply things I can't do because of the anxiety & OCD (and I'm not using this as a reason to act out or defy her) abt 2 weeks ago we went to get food, now usually I order my food to make sure I get what I like and not have a mixup. And pls notice this was after a week long “vacation” that ended up being stressful and draining. But anyways there was a mixup and I ended up with a burger with all toppings instead of plain, which caused me to panic because I was hungry and stressed before already. And instead of trying to accommodate she stood firm in her beliefs that I need to get over it and just eat the damn burger. And I heavily insisted on not eating it and eating the fries instead. After a argument (and at the instance of my grandma) she bought me another burger and while in line I told her outright that there are some things that I physically can't do or else they send me into a panic. She that said that she “gets that” but I don't have to act out In front of my grandma which she idolized. And now like I said with the whole start of school she's saying “it wont be your best years if you don't let it be your best years” but I don't think she understands that I don't know how to do that. I've moved around a lot and I've been made fun of a lot due to my interests, hobbies and simply just to be the clown. Most of the people I befriend end up getting annoyed or just keep me around until I say something that doesn't make me the dumb and “quirky” one. And like I said I suck at keeping contact and now everyone still has their old friend groups and mine just see me as a joke or weirdo now. Its stressing me out so much and its only been two days, hell yesterday I would have thrown up from the stress but because I was so stressed I didn't eat shit so I didn't throw up. School stresses me out so much it's unimaginable, its the people, the sounds, the halls, the fact that people won't leave you alone, someone always talking or screaming, just please shut the fuck up so I can learn and be out of here. And god its so fucking hard not feeling what everyone else around you feels. My moms getting upset at me for not wanting to go on the busses when I have gone on one and it left 20 fucking minutes from my house cus the lady was screaming and I got scared as was about to cry. And now she wants me to try again with kids I don't fucking know who some how don't know personal space or manners. And back to the emotions things, why the fuck don't I feel the same as them, god I feel so fucking robotic compared to my mother and everybody else but they also make me feel like a god damned mutt. On one hand they think it's weird that I don't want to talk or to Interact but somehow don't realize that it's their fault I don't want to, and on the other hand whenever I'm upset or angry and actually show it its MY fault. Because apparently since I'm the youngest of my family im supposed to have the personality of pinkie pie and I have no problems. And because I'm quiet, friendly or just shy and I'm supposed to control my emotions because I'm a “young lady”. I've tried talking to my mom about home school because my school has that as a option but she says that I can't hide when she's been doing that too. Sometimes I feel like she cares more for the happiness of those she wants to impress rather than that of her family. But god if all of life feels like this then count me out cus its too much to be alive right now. I think ima take a shot or three of night quill and hopefully sleep until ITs to late to go to school
Goodnight

I am genuinely asking this cause this is a plot point I've been stuck on: how would you write Ichigo getting his powers back? The Shinigami ex Machina twist felt like bland fan service but I don't know how else it should go.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, I've been thinking about this a lot, and I don't really think it's too hard! It's kinda sad, because all the heavy lifting has actually already been done-- we have four whole volumes of set-up. We've established:
Ichigo was depressed because he was powerless. This provided an in for a gang of con artists to sucker him in with the promise of making him feel better about himself. The lesson he has to learn here is his own self-worth absent his powers (which thematically will result in him getting his powers back).
Ichigo and his friends completely fail to communicate with each other throughout the arc, thinking that keeping things secret will keep their friends safe, only for it all to blow up in their face. The conclusion therefore must also involve these idiots finally talking to each other.
How I, were I Kubo's editor and yet completely immune to the commercial pressures of Shonen Jump, would do this after the cut:
Tumblr media
We're going to start our divergence when Ginjo and Ichigo arrive at Tsukishima's mansion, with maybe a slight change to establish this thing earlier in the story because it sort of came out of nowhere. But rather than bring in Ichigo's nonpowered friends and family for a second round of trauma, I'd suggest keeping it tight on Ichigo's desire to kill Tsukishima. This is what he thinks will solve his problem. He fights his way shockingly easily through the other members of Xcution (it's almost like they're not really trying...) before getting to Tsukishima.
Tumblr media
And naturally, Orihime and Chad intervene. But instead of being strangely stoic about it all, they're acting like you would expect people to act if one of their best friends was trying to kill the other. Orihime is full-on crying as she heals and shields Tsukishima. Chad is screaming to Ichigo about how this isn't what Ichigo used to take pride in. And most importantly, they're actually trying to restrain him and stop the fight instead of just passively protecting Tsukishima when attacks happen. As the fight spills outside, Ichigo can't win the fight without hurting them.
Tumblr media
And so finally, finally, Ichigo resorts to dialogue. He tries to talk them out of it. And Chad and Orihime, who still have all of their memories of Ichigo even if Tsukishima is weirdly in some of them, listen. They're not going to harm him either. Ichigo, breaking down, apologizes for failing to protect them. Orihime and Chad tell him he doesn't need to apologize for anything, that they're fine. Even Ginjo and Xcution stop fighting each other. It's all very sweet. And that's when Uryu shows up and seemingly ruins everything.
Tumblr media
He drops out of seemingly thin air with a massive licht regen that completely demolishes where Ginjo and Tsukishima are standing. Ichigo, Orihime, and Chad are astonished, verging on furious. But Uryu responds that those two are the ones who attacked him. The dust clears, and rather than being dead by Quincy powers, the two of them and the rest of Xcution get the drop on the Karakura kids. Uryu, Chad, and Orihime are all quickly taken down, and Ginjo takes Ichigo's fullbring.
Tumblr media
Ginjo and Tsukishima do their villainous exposition. Ichigo has his full-on breakdown. But his friends are there too, and share in his pain. Uryu tells Ichigo that he's arrogant for assuming its his job to protect them. Chad points out that all their instincts to protect worked disastrously as they concealed the truth from one another. Orihime says that what matters here is that he, and everybody here, aren't hurt. Rukia calls him an idiot.
Tumblr media
OH SHOOT, RUKIA'S HERE. She says that the four of them really made a mess of things, but that Isshin sent a message to her through Urahara that something was wrong. Ichigo says that she didn't think she cared, as she hasn't been in his life for 18 months. Renji (who is also here) points out to Ichigo that she is an immortal soul with a job, and that if he wanted to see them he should have asked! And then Rukia points out that it won't be a problem going forward, as Ichigo can see them now.
Tumblr media
Because Ichigo has his powers back! No magic sword necessary-- we already established when he was training with Ginjo that his powers were coming back. Rukia gives the above spiel about how Ginjo couldn't steal them, and then informs him that she and Renji are taking him in. Xcution naturally does not take kindly to this. Our six hearts each pair off with a Fullbringer (Orihime did some healing during all this), and if people ask for it I'll do a second post about how I'd pair those fights off.
But I'll leave it at this for now. That's how I would thematically tie off the arc.

Everybody was talking about the quad thing in the last episode of Riverdale like that's the wildest thing about it.
Betty freaking time travels. Jughead is like an angel or something. Reggie dropped the Brando schtick and reverted to dumb dumb status again.
But that's not even the point. The finale is just heartbreaking. The finale is about real life finally catching up with The Archies. It's not about serial killers, or Gargoyle Kings, or Stephen King's The Stand Jr. And yeah there's the live action Gainax ending a la Lost, and Angel Jughead and Betty's Excellent Adventure, but mostly it's just a hit parade of emotional gut punches. It's just scene after scene of life absolutely bodying the expectations of America's favorite teenagers.
And I feel it. I'm there too. In my 20s I saw everyone drift away after high school. I've since seen the deaths of people I thought I'd know my entire life. And some people I talked to every day for years, stopped responding and never spoke to me again.
And it's heartbreaking in Riverdale because these kids finally get everything sorted out and just drift away like you or I would. Archie starts to tell Betty what many of the viewers are probably thinking, that the whole story started with the two of them and will just as likely end with the two of them starting a family and living together for years. And then Betty explains that she already knows the future and they don't get together at all. Archie moves to California and marries someone else who we never learn the name of, has a family, dies, and gets buried in Riverdale next to his Dad. Archie doesn't become a rockstar or a famous writer. He becomes a construction worker who writes on the side for funzies. Archie and Betty and Veronica and Jughead live miles apart, they die years apart. They never really see each other all together ever again after high school. That's us. With a few exceptions that's you and me.
There's a part toward the end of the finale where Betty asks Angel Jughead what happens after we die. Jughead uses Pop as an example and says that he imagines Pop doing what he loved for the rest of eternity in The Sweet Hereafter. Betty tells Angel Jughead that she never wants to leave Riverdale then. She wants to stay forever young with all her friends and hope about a bright future. Angel Jughead looks serious and then contradicts his comment about Pop. Angel Jughead says what Betty wants is impossible. "You say hello. You walk beside someone for a little while... and then you say goodbye. That's life." That is life.
There's a big scene in Mike Flanagan's Netflix series Midnight Mass where Riley and Erin are talking about faith. Riley talks about his atheism and disbelief in an afterlife. He goes on to describe the process of brain death and how time seemingly expands forever onward in the perception of those whose brains are shutting down. One long dream before the beginning of an endless sleep. This is what The Archies too are left with; that diner that lives in their memories as a timeless rendezvous for the best version of everyone they ever loved; one long dream before the vast expanse of infinite sleep.

So I just read Blue Flag and oh my god was I sent down a roller coaster and it left even questioning myself. Anyways before I get started I’m going to spoil a lot so if you don’t want to see that don’t look at the following post.
Tumblr media
The story takes you through a lot of twists and turns. Sometimes you start off hating character that you actually love on the end and maybe bias versa. Everyone in the story has a lot depth and all of the characters get some sort of back story or make statements that have the reader understand why they act the ways they do. I know it’s not new for characters in anime to have a sob story of some kind but they all felt more relatable and realistic. Some people dealt with bullying, others were battling inner demons, some peoples parents passed away from accidents, etc.. Each story was different and all of them weren’t super extreme. Of course that’s not to say that people in the real world don’t go through extreme shit we all do. However anime sometimes can overdo those making the story seem redundant or maybe less interesting because it’s to much like the others.
Spoilers ahead!!
Tumblr media
I truly adored Taichi and Futaba’s relationship. They were so adorable and I really liked the fact that throughout there relationship they had to learn to set boundaries not just with others but between themselves. Especially because both of them are pretty passive when it comes to being firm. Futaba being able to share her feelings about how she didn’t like Mami hanging around Taichi openly was just amazing for her entire character. Futaba is one who is always super clumsy and shy so she always felt the need to apologize. She stumbles on her words a lot also and just comes off as a not super confident person. So I loved that she felt comfortable enough to do it later on.
Tumblr media
I loved them. I loved their friendship. I loved their dynamic. I love both of them as people. I just love them.
But what I didn’t fuck with was after Toma’s confession when everybody lowkey turned on Taichi. Everybody was making things weird for them. Don’t even get me started when Toma walked into the locker room and someone with no filter or home training felt the need to call Toma a pervert for walking into the mf locker room because Taichi was changing for gym like everybody else in there.
I think that’s the reason why I was able to live with not seeing Tom’s at the end of the book with Taichi. We had already seen Tina’s feelings so much that in those last moments it was showing how important Taichi’s feelings were as well. Toma liking Taichi doesn’t make Toma. bad person and Taichi letting down Tina doesn’t make Taichi a bad person. However the kids around school siding with Toma was making Tomas feelings seem more important. For instance, when those girls were telling Toma that Taichi was some sort of bad guy for not reciprocating romantic interest. Just pissed me tf off.
But besides all of that I loved there ending and I didn’t feel like it was rushed.
Tumblr media
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to live with the fact that there was never a confession. I thought there was going to be one at the end of the book because of how Futaba was saying Masumi was special to her. I just loved them so much and thought they deserved way better. I know Futaba looked happy in the end but Masumi just looked enjoyed by her husband.
Even though Masumi’s husband resembles Futaba so much she didn’t smile or show any sort of emotion towards him until that last single panel. So that makes me question did she really get true happiness at the end like the other… But who knows maybe there was something else the author was going towards that I didn’t understand.
But anyway that’s all for now…
